Shouldn't installboot -o console=com1 be equivalent to typing consdev
com1 @ the bootloader, in the sense that in both cases the kernel would
select com1 as the console ?
It maybe does but you could still not see anything with SOL.
This could be because the kernel doesn't get correct BIOS data. Telling
installboot the proper I/O address for the com1 port will then
help.
It could also be one of the simple BMCs that only redirect BIOS I/O
but not anything talking to the hardware directly. In this case
you are probably lost.
